  • Patent number: 11270397
    Abstract: An automatic urban land identification system integrating business big data with building forms, including a data acquiring and inputting module, a database construction module, a machine learning training module, an automatic identification module, and a data outputting module. The system automatically identifies an urban land by extracting a data distribution feature of an urban business site and a multi-dimensional form feature of an urban spatial three-dimensional entity. The system can be used for the determining of land usage of an urban plot in the field of urban planning and design, to achieve efficient and automatic refined identification of land usages of cities of different scales based on an artificial intelligence system, providing an efficient and convenient surveying and mapping approach and reference for surveying and mapping of the current urban construction land, and effectively saving time costs of manual surveying and mapping.

  • Patent number: 11176499
    Abstract: Data is obtained specifying a measure of a data set to be analyzed by human experts and allotted time for analysis completion. Based on same, a schedule is created for a primary meeting of human experts, whose aim is to analyze the data. The meeting is evaluated to create rate estimates for hypothetical meeting partitions; and, if the primary meeting is not adhering to schedule and/or can be speeded up, the meeting partitions are simulated until a partitioning scheme is determined that can restore the meeting to schedule and/or speed it up. In another aspect, a model of focus of attention of each member of a group of individuals engaged in an activity requiring cooperation is dynamically updated, and a cooperation index is determined based on the model of focus of attention, an interaction graph, and at least one physiological parameter of at least one of the members.

  • Patent number: 11164158
    Abstract: In an information processor, an acquirer acquires a departure point and transportation of each of multiple users and a destination in common. A provisional setting unit provisionally sets a meeting place multiple times. For the meeting place provisionally set each time, a calculation unit derives a travel cost of each user required for traveling from the departure point of the user through the meeting place to the destination, and a join cost of each user required for joining at the meeting place based on the transportation of the user, and calculates the sum of the travel costs and the join costs of the respective users. Based on the multiple calculated sums, a formal setting unit formally sets a meeting place.
